This would have gotten a higher score, but for the price was truly disappointing. If this had been 60-70 dollars I'd say pick up a bottle, but as the price stands I can't recommend this, and quite frankly I'm surprised this passed muster.Id much rather have Tamdhu Cask Strength at half the price or even if price was not a factor. I wanted to try a "Good McCallan and not just the 12 but for $125 I can find whisky that blows this away by a huge margin. I feel MaCallan should be ashamed of themselves and eventually are ruining their name for the normal drinkers. If I want to spend 1 to 4 K dollars I'm sure they make wonderful whiskies but their common stuff is.....well.....shite! Still in shock that I spent $125 for this mediocre dram!
